In our last article, we reflected a little bit about one of the spiritual pillars of Lent – Prayer. We are going to wind up by reflecting briefly on the other two, namely Almsgiving and Fasting. On prayer, Pope Francis noted that by devoting more time to prayer, we enable our hearts to root out our secret lies and forms of self-deception, and then to find the consolation God offers. He is our Father and He wants us to live life well.
